Short Messages from Sringeri Jagadgurus:
Sringeri Jagadguru on the Nididhyasanam of Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji (Tamil):
The association with Satpurushas brings about a transformation in us. The noble qualities in them also start manifesting in us by our continued association with them. The Lord says in the Bhagavad Gita that Jnanis having realized the Self, will bestow Jnana on one who surrenders –
उपदेक्ष्यन्ति ते ज्ञानं ज्ञानिनस्तत्त्वदर्शिनः ।
upadēkṣyanti tē jñānaṁ jñāninastattvadarśinaḥ ।
However it is not easy to find such Jnanis. Our Guru was one such rare personage. He was blessed by Our Paramaguru, Jagadguru Sri Chandrashekhara Bharati Mahaswamiji who is well-known to be the equivalent of great Jnanis of yore such as Sri Shuka and Sri Vamadeva. Our Paramaguru was indeed a Parama Jnani and Jivanmukta like Sri Sadashiva Brahmendra.
He wrote a commentary on Sri Adi Shankaracharya's Vivekachoodamani but had stopped short of completing it. When our Guru requested Him to complete it, He replied –
वक्तव्या अत्रैव सङ्गृहीताः । निदिध्यासनमन्तरा नाधुना अन्यत्र चित्तं व्यापृनोति ।
vaktavyā atraiva saṅgr̥hītāḥ । nididhyāsanamantarā nādhunā anyatra cittaṁ vyāpr̥nōti ।
– "I have said all that needs to be said. The mind does not go anywhere else but wishes to remain in Nididhyasana".
Today, we keep talking about Vedanta but Our Paramaguru brought it to practice. He indeed remained in Nididhyasana that is defined as
विजातीयप्रत्ययानन्तरितसजातीयप्रत्ययप्रवाहः
vijātīyapratyayānantaritasajātīyapratyayapravāhaḥ
(uninterrupted contemplation on the Self).
